Matt> w.modify_bg(gtk.STATE_NORMAL, color) Yeah, I guess I would be surprised, since I was hoping to change the color of the text in the widget, not the background of the button. ;-) Calling modify_bg does change the background color of the button, but that's not quite what I was after. Maybe I should have phrased my question differently. How do I change the text color in a button? I thought that would have been covered by asking how to change the foreground color in a widget. Given this code: import gtk def click(b, *args): gc = b.window.new_gc() color = gtk.gdk.color_parse("red") b.modify_bg(gtk.STATE_NORMAL, color) color = gtk.gdk.color_parse("green") b.modify_fg(gtk.STATE_NORMAL, color) def _test(): window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL) window.set_title("title") window.connect("destroy", gtk.mainquit) close = gtk.Button(label="press me!") close.connect("clicked", click) window.add(close) window.show_all() gtk.mainloop() if __name__ == "__main__": _test() after I click the button, when the button is in STATE_NORMAL, the background is red, however the text is still black. -- Skip Montanaro ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.mojam.com/ http://www.musi-cal.com/ _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk
